Chickweed
Stellaria media
In the United States:
Naturalized
· also called common chickweed
Chickweed offers minor early-season pollen and nectar to honeybees during its cool-weather bloom from late winter through spring, but bees often prefer more rewarding sources. It thrives in moist, disturbed soils and can become a persistent weed in gardens and lawns, requiring management to prevent spread.
